Imprudence:Features needing translation
From Kokua Wiki
This is a list of features in Imprudence that need to have their text translated into non-en-us languages. The viewer handles translation through language-specific xml files found in the default skin's folder. For example, the French language is found in the \skins\default\xui\fr directory. Once you've changed the files, please post them as either a patch or in full (see Contributing Code).
This list is a work in progress.

How to translate the UI
These examples come from \skins\default\xui\fr\floater_instant_message.xml:
Buttons and other widgets
Your translated elements must have the same name="TEXT" attribute as the English version, this is used by Imprudence to find the correct widget to be translated.
You only need to include name and any attributes needs to be translated (for buttons, this is label). You can leave out any attribute that does not need to be translated (so if the English version changes layout, the translation will too).
Example:
<button label="Envoyer" name="send_btn"/>
Text
There are two forms of text the viewer uses. One form is a string, which is just a word or a phrase the viewer needs to find.
<string name="session_start_string">
Début de la session avec [NAME], veuillez patienter.
</string>
The other is a Text property, which lays out a specific piece of text in the UI:
<text name="title_string">
Envoyer un message instantané à [NAME]
</text>
Both are translated the same way, by editing the text between the opening and closing tag.

Menus
The following menu labels need translation:
Main Menu
menu_viewer.xml
- File > Import
- File > Logout
- Edit > Refresh Appearance ("Rebake" in LL's viewers)
- View > Web Browser
- View > Zoom Level
- View > Advanced Menu
- World > Set Busy
- World > Stop Animating My Avatar (formerly "Stop Animations")
- Tools > Selection Options
- Tools > Return Object
Inventory
floater_inventory.xml
- Search > By Name
- Search > By Creator
- Search > All
Mini-Map
menu_mini_map.xml
(Most of these might already be translated in LL's Snowglobe viewer or trunk by now. I'd check.)
- Zoom Close
- Zoom Medium
- Zoom Far
- Center on Camera (prolly not the final name for this. Controls the behavior of mini-map panning)
- Rotate Mini-Map
- Show Word Map
- Stop Tracking...
- Profile
Advanced
menu_viewer.xml
- The entire Advanced menu needs to be translated, if anyone's honestly up for it. It's not a priority, though (LL might have finally gotten around to doing this themselves; worth checking).
Various Strings
strings.xml
(at the bottom)
- Landmark created string
- New home page set string
If you can't find the text in xml
There are two other places it could be:
- notifications.xml
- strings.xml
- teleport_strings.xml
If it's not there, more than likely Linden Lab hardcoded it into the viewer source. Let us known on the ImpDev mailing list so we can fix it. Or better yet, if you're a developer, submit a patch to make that text translatable!
External Links
- Xmldropper, a tool to automatically remove attributes for translation
- How_to_Localize_Your_World - this is out of date from a Linden Lab viewpoint (it is geared towards the 1.x viewer and superseded by the Community Translators project), but still useful for a few more tips.
